Smell is one of the strongest triggers for PTSD. It often takes a survivor completely off guard right back to the event. No danger, no explosions, only the chemical bombardment of fight or flight drugs the body supplies to protect during trouble. Understanding triggers is one of the first steps in learning how to cope with PTSD. What sets you off and how much time do you have to take action to avoid going over the edge? Punch the wife, slap the kids, kick the boss in the groin, or many other inappropriate responses that throw ones life into the ****ter. All from a moments over reaction.
I get into tunnel vision and become like the Titanic...I'm going one direction and get out of my way! Doesn't help in relationships very well. I'm in a PTSD group here in Ft Bragg and it really helps. I no longer take their drugs except sleep aid. Throwing more drugs at the brains own drug cocktail is voodoo science.
